Managing the Digital Shift: How Online Communication Impacts the Classroom & School Community (Multi-lingual translation available; 將提供翻譯服務) FILLING
Friday May 9, 2025 1:30pm - 2:45pm CST
2nd Floor Tech Cube
Have you ever walked into class and felt like something was off—students whispering, a shift in energy, or tension between friends—but you had no idea what had happened? In today’s world, so much of student life unfolds online, in group chats, gaming communities, and social media. What happens in these spaces doesn’t stay there—it spills over into the classroom, shaping friendships, conflicts, and overall school culture. This session will explore how online interactions influence student dynamics and how educators can foster a safe, connected learning environment that bridges the gap between digital and real-world relationships 
 
Why this matters: 
  • Students bring their online conflicts into the classroom, but educators often lack the tools to address these digital behaviors effectively. 
  • Bullying, exclusion, and miscommunication online have real consequences for school culture. 
 
Practical strategies: 
  • Identifying digital conflicts early before they disrupt classroom culture. 
  • Establishing proactive classroom norms that prevent online bullying and exclusion. 
  • Effective interventions when online meanness spills into in-person interactions. 
  • Schoolwide safeguarding approaches to ensure students feel safe both online and offline. 
 
Key Takeaway: Educators will learn specific techniques for noticing, addressing, and preventing digital conflicts while fostering a classroom culture of belonging. 

This session will have automatic multi-lingual translation via Wordly, please bring your own headphones and smart device (phone, tablet). 
本場活動將透過 Wordly 提供即時翻譯，請自備耳機與智慧型裝置（手機或平板）。
